Oh well, here I am again. Already somehow in mid-November and already somehow getting ready to depart soon again next month during the Christmas festive season for my year-end travel shoot. Where to? Going to Taiwan!When i left a high-flying corporate job in the financial industry a couple of years ago, i took time off to travel alone, on my own and it was what opened my eyes to photography in the first place. Ever since then, travel has been a very important part of my life. You can make your life what you want it to be, you can. It takes some work, but don't ever think what you have in your head, can't be what you have in your life. It’s not exactly the most normal work / life balance, but the blessing in that is i can carve out some time and make what I want come to life.And that is taking time off each year (as long as i can) to travel, to grow myself, to see new cultures, to stretch, to shoot amazing things and to get my feet on some new soil.

So i'll be carrying my life on my back for the next month. I will try new things again. I will go to new places again. I will shoot some amazing pictures again. I’m way too pumped. :-)

My shot of Taipei 101 taken during a Year 2009 trip back then. This picture won a Commendation in the "Architectural" Category at the Sony World Photography 2010 Awards.

You can bet your bottom dollar that I will be posting images and telling my journey after i am back. You can also be assured that the pictures taken in this coming Taiwan trip will be an extraordinary one, i promise!

I will still be responding to emails while I’m over there but at a snail's pace, so please allow for that. I will be away from 25th to 30th December. Hope all of you will have a happy & blessed Christmas celebration ahead too!Taiwan, here i come, coming soon. :-)
